It's just a Southern thang y'all!

Well, I'd say they're right. At least it was honest, the blacks knew they were slaves, the whites knew were masters. It really didn't change anything, the blacks are still slaves, and the whites are still the masters, its just that no one is aware of this. The only thing that changed is that blacks now have to feed themselves.

You know, there's a smilie for this. Let me see if I can find it. Oh, yeah, here it is.

Well, you can deny it all you want. The NOI had the right idea. They tried to culturally dissociate themselves from the whites by changing their religion, names and extending their heritage beyond the slavery era.
Know that they didn't come to America voluntarily, like the other immigrants, they were brought in as slaves, and were forcibly assimilated, with all their knowledge about their roots prior to slavery erased.

They became mankurts, in every sense of the world. The NOI realized that the slavery was in fact, a slavery of the mind and of the spirit of the black people in the USA, a worse condition than actual slavery I'd say.
